Translates Russian mod stalker shadow of Chernobyl update to English, more about the game is talked about on the main page as well as the download links
-To install the mod you need to extract the contents of the zip file with either 7zip or winrar and just drag and drop the folder on to where the game is installed.
1) Download the game through the google drive link
2) Extract the game to a folder etc.
3) Start the game by going inside the bin_64x folder and click on xrEngine.exe. Start new game then exit once fully loaded.
4) Download my mod
5) Extract everything to the game data folder of the game. IMPORTANT: It WILL say to overwrite, if not thats a sign that you may have not extracted the mod files in the correct space.
It's me again! Copy pasted the gamedata folder to the D:\Shadow_of_Chernobyl_Update_1.0.2-001 folder where the already existing gamedata folder is but it is not working, it is still in Russian.
Also tried copy pasting the mod folder there just in case I misunderstood you but it is still in russian.
Am I doing something wrong?
Found the solution, the order of the files in your file is wrong. I had to unzip your file, go into gamedata folder, copy the text folder and then copy/paste it into D:\Shadow_of_Chernobyl_Update_1.0.2-001\gamedata\config\
Thanks for your translation work man! Hope I like the mod in the end =P
That must have been a headache to workout mb, should be able to fix it soon when i get back
Problem has been fixed! Anyone else just now discovering the mod can now just drag and drop the gamedata file into where game is installed.
I have just installed the mod & it is still in Russian with no English option.The Zip file is dated 23/01/23 - is this the old file?
However, the file structure is as suggested by Kova1711 above.
TLDR: Its fixed now
That is so frustrating man, what happened was even though I managed to quickly upload a new copy of the mod to the site it still seemed that the old one remained while the updated version (i guess you could say) just went *poof* nowhere to be seen. Whats most intriguing is that I personally downloaded the mod myself multiple times to try out and bug test (which went smoothly) until I decided to try it out on a different machine which went exactly as some of you have described. Sorry for the hassle hopefully the second time works like a charm
OK - now in English.
I initially redownloaded the Google link but this is the old file. I doublechecked the download shown above and it is ONLY the Config\Text folder at 2 Gb - not the whole file again at 19 Gb. Tried this, deleted the existing Config\Text folder with the new one & Hey Presto, it works.
Many thanks for all your patience and persistence.
I will now check out the mod - fingers crossed....
Hopefully you have a wonderful experience with it but am also planning on releasing a a video on how to install the game and make it work with the translation soon, to be fair I have not made it exactly clear what steps you need to take in order to get everything working.
Your feedback was really helpful and you were a class act man hope to come across more people like you.
Thanks for the translation. A truly amazing mod can be played by many with your help and work.
